This is a set of scripts to help with using a Plusnet Fibre DSL connection from Linux, connecting directly to the VDSL modem rather than via an intermediate router such as the one Plusnet supply. The scripts were written by Paul Howarth (paul@city-fan.org) and are distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License (version 2 or later). After installing this package, you will need to customize /etc/ppp/chap-secrets (see /etc/ppp/chap-secrets.plusnet) and /etc/ppp/peers/plusnet-fttc to configure your Plusnet username and password, and also the name of the ethernet interface your VDSL modem is connected to if it's not "em1". The scripts can then be started using: systemctl daemon-reload systemctl start plusnet-fttc To have the network come up automatically at boot time: systemctl enable plusnet-fttc It usually helps to wait for the network to be up before starting network services, so also do: systemctl enable NetworkManager-wait-online.service
